      <p>In this model definition, we have included <code>_message_fields_schema</code> to define
a custom ProtoRPC message schema for this model. To see a similar but
different way to use custom fields, check out the samples in
<a href="/examples/custom_api_response_messages.html">custom_api_response_messages</a> and <a href="/examples/paging.html">paging</a>.</p>

      <p>This results in a ProtoRPC message definition with four fields, in the exact
order specified here: <code>id</code>, <code>attr1</code>, <code>attr2</code>, and <code>created</code>.
The fields corresponding to properties (<code>attr1</code>, <code>attr2</code>, and <code>created</code>) are string
fields as in <a href="/examples/basic.html">basic</a>. The field <code>id</code> will be an integer field
representing the ID of the entity in the datastore. For example if <code>my_entity.key</code> is equal to <code>ndb.Key(MyModel, 1)</code>,
the <code>id</code> is the integer <code>1</code>.</p>

      <p>The property <code>id</code> is one of five helper properties provided by default to
help you perform common operations like this (retrieving by ID). In addition
there is an <code>entityKey</code> property which provides a base64 encoded version of
a datastore key and can be used in a similar fashion as <code>id</code>, and three
properties used for queries &mdash; <code>limit</code>, <code>order</code>, <code>pageToken</code> &mdash; which are
described in more detail in <a href="/examples/paging.html">paging</a>.</p>

      <p>Here, since the schema includes an ID, it is possible that the entity
<code>my_model</code> has an ID, hence we could be specifying a new ID in the datastore
or overwriting an existing entity. If no ID is included in the ProtoRPC
request, then no key will be set in the model and the ID will be set after
the put completes, as in <a href="/examples/basic.html">basic</a>.</p>

      <p>In either case, the datastore ID from the entity will be returned in the
ProtoRPC response message.</p>

      <p>This method is not defined in any of the previous examples: it allows an
entity to be retrieved from it's ID. As in
<a href="/examples/custom_api_response_messages.html">custom_api_response_messages</a>, we override the schema of the ProtoRPC
request message to limit to a single field: <code>id</code>. Since <code>id</code> is one of
the helper methods provided by <code>EndpointsModel</code>, we may use it as one of our
<code>request_fields</code>. In general, other than these five, only properties you
define are allowed.</p>

      <p>Since the field <code>id</code> is included, when it is set from the ProtoRPC
message, the decorator attempts to retrieve the entity by its ID. If the
entity was retrieved, the boolean <code>from_datastore</code> on the entity will be
<code>True</code>, otherwise it will be <code>False</code>. In this case, if the entity we attempted
to retrieve was not found, we return an HTTP 404 Not Found.</p>
